Notably, key players such as Chimy Ávila and Abde Ezzalzouli are sidelined due to injuries, which may influence Betis’ tactical setup. Their star man Isco has had a dry spell but remains an essential creative presence.[5]

Jagiellonia have shown resilience, especially in defence with players like goalkeeper Sławomir Abramowicz and centre-back Dušan Stojnović earning praise for their performances in the first leg. However, they face a tough task to overturn the aggregate deficit and have some absences through injury that may impact their backline[5].

Match Predictions and Viewing Experience

Analysts predict a closely fought match with limited goal-scoring opportunities, expecting Real Betis to play a more conservative, defence-oriented game to protect their lead, while Jagiellonia will push for a comeback at home. The consensus is for under 3 total goals, reflecting the defensive solidity of both sides under the pressure of a knockout tie[5].

Fans tuning in can expect comprehensive live coverage with expert insights, especially on CBS Sports Network and Paramount+ in the USA, and TNT Sports in the UK, complemented by consistent world feed commentary hosted by Martin Fisher.
